On a sunny Wednesday 19th June, members of The Council of the Four Kings assembled in the Hong Kong room in Mark Masons' Hall for their June meeting.
There was a lot of work on the agenda, so promptly at 4pm Worshipful Master John Hicks opened the Lodge in St. Lawrence the Martyr. This was then followed by a Memoriam to W. Bro. Jeffrey Sloneem who sadly passed to the Great Lodge above on 24th May.
The Council then welcomed the Deputy District Grand Prefect, V. W. Bro. Steven Warwick and a delegation of District Grand Officers.
St. Lawrence was then adjourned. W. Bro. Terry Gilbert then took the principle's chair to open into the Degree of Masons Elect of Twenty-Seven. W. Bro. Terry then created Bro. Antonios Antoniou as a Grand Tiler of Solomon in great style assisted by officers of the lodge.
After closing Grand Tilers, the lodge was opened in the Holy Order of Grand High Priest, this time with W. Bro. Stuart Graves in the principle's chair. Bro. Andy Green was the nominated candidate along with 5 others being Anointed, Consecrated and Set Apart to the office of Grand High Priest. The ceremony was again conducted in fine style by W. Bro. Stuart and officers of the lodge.
The Lodge was then duly closed. Members and visitors then retired to the Hertford room on the first floor to enjoy a fine festive board, which as always with AMD meetings was filled with chatter and laughter. Food eaten and wine drunk, the Worshipful Master concluded with a toast to the next merry meeting.
